Jeez, why is this game so hard to find?

Thought they stopped production for the game about a year ago. Most copies are left overs or are used, best bet is to find online. Out of 5 local game shops I've only found 2 copies for sale

Play the PC version.

Download the torrent.

If you feel bad, send $50 to them later. I normally don't endorse piracy, but the game isn't being sold new anymore IIRC, and I'm sure Sega would rather you find a means of getting the game and paying them a monthly fee than to pay someone else to play their games which are available in stores.

Floating around here are the official downloads for the client for PSU and AotI, yeah it seems like SEGA is just trying to get people to pay for memberships vs. the actual game now

LOL! This game isn't hard. I have over stack, a great Gunmaster palette (I'm 150/20 Gunmaster, btw), and I have 19 people on my card list that I can run with if I feel like. I'm not gonna run with anyone any time soon because I'm hunting a Milla, something you probably don't know what the hell is.

Wow aren't you cool...And i actually do know what a Milla is. I was a PSO player since it was released on the dreamcast. Good luck with that.

My wal-mart has tons of copies, I guess it's just distribution.

[Gibdozer]

umm... ebay, but dont scuff it at all, Im on my third copy! cheap manufacturing or my own carelessness?

i happen to stop by Fryz Electronic in Cali and
saw tons of copies of PSU for ps2 ($29.99) and
PC (forgot the price). Too bad i didn't need one...
just a heads up for anyone that still wants a copy.

Why is this game so hard to find?

Because it sucks.




...no, like, seriously. Its an MMORPG that nobody has, buys, or knows about, Its 3 years in the hole already and was never advertised, Its P2P, PSO wasnt that widely popular yet PSO fans are the only ones who know of it, A 4th of those are the only people who still care for it, and to top it off, both IGN AND Gamestop gave it shitpoor ratings.


This game sucks. Its quite obvious SoJ didnt give 2 shits about the games success over here when it was released, because they didn't even try to make us care about it.

Because it sucks.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. The game play concept is definitely unique and arguably great. It's the execution that has completely sucked. Online RPG's live and die by the service they get from the parent company. Drip-fed content, rollbacks, and hack-ish patches for bugs and exploits do not make for great service.

...was never advertised...

Quite true.

TL;DR content follows

Spoiler!

When Sega gets their act together and releases some new content (and maybe sans rollback this time?) I'll be back. I suspended in November and I have a whopping 1 online mission, 1 story mission, and some S2s of previous missions (which doesn't count in my book as new content) to look forward to upon my return so far. Big whoop.
